The objective of this research was to use the lens model as a technique to measure the effect of an automobile-restricted zone and other private and public policies in the downtown Boston retail area on shopping trips to the area. The lens model accounts for perceptions and preference in the individual choice process. Findings were that individual's preferences for hypothetical futures for the Downtown Crossing could be linked to actual choice of shopping area only by explicitly accounting for measurement errors and feedback effects of preferences on perceptions. Removal of the automobile-restricted zone was predicted to decrease shopping trips to the shopping area by about 8 percent. Better maintenance and security were predicted to increase trips by about 5 percent. New retail development was predicted to increase trips by 10 to 11 percent; and vastly improved parking was predicted to increase trips by 6 percent.
